Grapple Gun Balancing
After landing on the ground from a grapple, the existing reduced movement has been tuned so it smoothly transitions from a slower movement back up to full speed. The player cannot jump in this period making them vulnerable to counterattack.
Grappling onto a ladder now takes a more precise shot in order to grab on and players will not find themselves attaching to a ladder when only landing next to it.
Text Chat Filtering
Text Chat now protects players from those attempting to send repeated messages to others in quick succession.
Text Chat now contains improved profanity filtering covering a range of new words and phrases.
Traps
Triggered traps can cause an unexpected game closure during heavy use.
Traps appear closed to players who were out of range when the trap was placed.
Blowpipes
Using a lure dart on a shark or Siren causes erratic behaviour.
Players may experience jittery movement after toggling "Reduce hold to use item - ON" and aiming with the blowpipe.
Gameplay
Players can no longer use the fishing rod lure to interact with others.
Players will no longer find themselves moved around when casting a fishing rod into the surrounding environment
When pledged to the Burning Blade, there is now a short grace period after the Captain leaves the game before the ship begins to sink to protect from temporary disconnections.

Fish now take bait straight away without needing the player to start reeling in.
